Goodreads asked Richard L. Currier:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Richard L. Currier I decided to write UNBOUND when I began thinking about the profound changes in human life and society that have occurred as a result of the invention of computers and digital communications. Then I began to think about the equally profound changes brought about by the industrial revolution—and before that, the rise of civilization—and still earlier, the agricultural revolution, and so on. Having taught college courses in human evolution, I realized that these technology-driven changes in life and society extended all the way back to our earliest primate origins. This was an aspect of the human story that I felt needed to be told.
